Odengatan between Dalagatan and St Eriksgatan
Granny-style kitsch
Take a stroll along Vasa park on Odengatan. This short stretch is packed with charming little shops packed with antiques and kitschy interior details. You'll find everything from beautiful crystal chandeliers and lamps to paintings. If you're looking for old-school china you'll find masses of vintage tea cups and pots - mix and match the pretty patterns and motifs.
Several streets of classic elegance
Around the smart streets of Östermalm you'll find several different stores selling antiques, second-hand and vintage items. Gamla Lampor means 'old lamps' and it's not hard to guess what this particular store sells. In the market for an Art Deco lamp or rare Sixties find? Then this is the place to come, but they also sell other items of furniture from the Thirties on. If you want to add to your collected of heirloom china or add a personal touch to your table setting we recommend a visit to À la Carte Antik. Sibyllegatan is also home to a number of antique shops.
